Mine went up pretty quick on both and then just stayed at that same level. Nearly a year in on reta now and my RHR never decreased from it either. Oh well.

It depends on a whole lot. I've totally changed my lifestyle while on tirz and then reta. I doubt that even if I dropped off I'd ever get back to where I was. It's just a lot harder to put on all that fat when you've changed your source of food from Uber Eats twice a day to prepackaged...

I don't disagree that we should care about lead exposure from other areas - of course we should. But if that's the takeaway message, the protein powder manufacturers should just make that the message instead of lying about things like Momentus is doing. I ingest a lot of extra protein - I...

Momentus appears to be lying their ass off based on everything I can find. It is not hundreds of times stricter than the WHO/FDA/EFSA. The WHO withdrew their limits and now emphasizes there is no known safe level of exposure, as does the FDA and EFSA (though they still have some limits). The...

I guess I'm assuming people would be getting most of their protein from meat sources, which I suppose is not a fair assumption since a lot of the concern is specifically with plant protein - they probably were opting for it due to dietary restrictions that would preclude them eating a bunch of...

There is no evidence AOD does anything of use in humans. https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2013/07/26/3811053.htm It was abandoned for weight loss because it did nothing. They started trials on it for osteoarthritis, but they never reached human trials and the last published study I've...

I used to be a big Starting Strength proponent, and it's what I got my start on, but I'd recommend against it these days, and particularly against it for most of the people here for weight loss. It's a program that is focused on a multiple decades old understanding of exercise science and...

Glad CR is doing the testing. They're not the first to call out plant protein as being particularly bad here - clean labels found a nearly 3x increase in being over the lead limit in plant based products https://cleanlabelproject.org/protein-study-2-0/ - and stuff labeled as "organic" was...

I still enjoy all of my vices and have not quit any of them. I partake in them far (far) more infrequently, though.

Purity testing over 99% says nothing about contaminants, sterility, etc. The vast majority of material in the vial is excipients and not the API we care about. It's just about how degraded or not the API is. Something might fall behind a shelf in a hot warehouse and get discovered years later...

Yep, I have a coffee mug warmer I use. Put the vials on it before I get in the shower and they're good to go by the time I've showered and dried off.

Was in a rush when I posted this and forgot to come back and tell the full story here but wanted to post a warning. I had a pretty significant reaction to them myself - using the braun inline filter ones. I had a series of 4 sterile abscesses that I strongly suspect was caused by the plastic...

You express that by saying "I love you exactly the way you are and there's no need to take any potentially risky drugs to change that." You can have a respectful conversation explaining your apprehension around the risks. You can express that because of those risks, you would personally prefer...

I don't know that we have any evidence that the people who have experienced NAION have done so because of what they were eating after starting GLP-1s. Most side effects are, from my interpretation of the available information - as a layperson - is that they are almost certainly just what you...

Marriage counselors are not going to suggest that either partner should avoid getting outside opinions on things they are unsure of. Getting feedback from people, particularly the ones that are at least somewhat knowledgeable in the subject in question when you are unsure of enough details...

I would argue that if a man divorces a woman, or pushes her to divorce, because he is incapable of letting her make her own decisions about her healthcare, he is the one who is refusing to be accountable to his vows. I can understand wanting to avoid experimental drugs or the grey market, and I...

There's only really the clinical trials to point towards. The phase 2 trials showed enough safety and efficacy to move on the phase 3, and the phase 3 trials are ongoing with the preliminary results that have been discussed showing similar promise. Some of the trials have had adder phases...

Yes. 4IU daily since very early this year. The answer is complicated and depends on a variety of factors but effectively "Not much on it's own" It is anti-catabolic and can result in some small lean mass gains even without lifting, particularly in untrained individuals, at supraphysiological...

Be careful on these. Most of them are polycarb and the BB in the oil will cause them to leech plastic into the oil. Some people have reported some pretty gnarly reactions to them.

SubQ will release slower which tends to result in less fluctuation which tends to improve some side effects, but you won't get as quick of a response and as high of a peak. I can do TRT doses SubQ with a 30g - I draw with a 25g and swap - but when I go to higher doses I'll be swapping to IM and...

Their last Test Cyp lab is from Apr 2024. I wouldn't order from these guys at all - there's no reason for test reports to be that old, particularly for such a high volume oil as test c. Product pages should link directly to a test report for the batch being sold, the same way we so frequently...

I will say a lot of the 19 year olds aren't even really "gym bros," a whole bunch of them are "looksmaxxers" doing all sorts of insane stuff with wanting to keep their growth plates open by crashing their estrogen and running HGH because they think women will never be attracted to them if...

20mg/day has done absolutely nothing for me. I originally wasn't super interested in trying something with zero human trials but fell for all the hype. I've since stopped after going through one bottle.

The market would not exist in the state it does now without the gym bros - all of the infrastructure, shipping practices, etc., are here because over the past decade or so these Chinese UGLs built it out to sell gear, HGH, and peptides to them. Obviously with the demand for GLP-1s China would...

I've only ever been offered free drugs by complete strangers I have no association with at concerts. Almost entirely weed - 99.999999% of the time. Ether once. Well, like 5 times in a row by the same guy. The ether made him forget he had offered. At parties from acquaintances, or acquaintances...

They (and SSA) were likely raided by Chinese authorities. https://glp1forum.com/threads/ssa-delay.6127/

Separate shipping is pretty common - peptides/tabs (ancillaries and aas)/oils (aas) have shipped separately from SSA for as long as I've been aware of them, for example. They're made in different factories/labs.

I expect that to be the case. My reading of the tea leaves is a lot of this is all related to the trade talks, Trump's visit, etc. Just shut down as much of the export of any sort of scheduled substance as possible, even though it's primarily the fentanyl, etc. that has been the focus. Though...

My limited pattern recognition skills, based on who is still operating and who seems to have been rolled up, seem to point towards AAS as the common denominator. Vendors that ONLY stocked peptides seem to be OK from what I've seen - are there any that weren't involved in the AAS trade that have...

We'll be paying some amount of tariffs, but unlikely it will be anything near the actual value. There's just no incentive to declare a $2k peptide order as being $2k vs. $300 or whatever when they already have to provide false documentation on the contents.

Get sterile water for injection and add an appropriate amount of benzyl alcohol. If you can reconstitute a peptide, this shouldn't be any more difficult.

Fellow lifter! I do not believe there is significant benefit to increasing muscle mass through KLOW outside of helping with injuries. Originally following a lot of the "protocols" out there I had zero benefit from BPC/TB, but moving up to 1mg/day for them I did see help with some tendon...

What are you wanting to get out of the KLOW? The GLP-1s are at least proven to fairly-well-proven-in-ongoing-trials medications. I would not recommend adding random peptides just for the sake of having a larger stack. There are various levels of risk for every additional thing you add to your...

People pretty regularly spend thousands with these vendors. I can't imagine average order size is less than $500, and they're not going to do any sort of significant price discount on an average order. They have the MOQ discounts listed for the high # of kits for a reason - people are buying...

If they have serious concerns about liver damage they wouldn't be continuing the trials. Lilly wouldn't want to risk it themselves, but even if they were, TRIUMPH and all the other phase 3 trials I can find have independent data monitoring committees. These committees exist to review the data...

Vagueposting isn't very effective at dispelling whatever idea you're trying to dispel either. As someone that knows neither of you and isn't in STG, I'm more annoyed by this sort of comment than the possibility of someone going "I tried to teach the telegrammers something and then everybody on...

I have had zero pain with GLOW or KLOW, or even GHK-Cu by itself. I do not spread the injection around or do anything special I just inject it subcutaneously.

Some vendors ship out of multiple warehouses, too, and the minimum is per warehouse. So if you had both tabs and peptides in the same order, for example, they are potentially from different places.

I don't really want to be in the position of defending the entangled relationship between the US government and big corporations, but this isn't really a fair or accurate characterization of what has occurred. The infrastructure that is allowing for these seizures to occur at increasing rates...

I explicitly stated I am hesitant about adding more VEGF increasing compounds in my stack because of tumor growth concerns. You replied with this: You are being quite explicit that there is a "humbling" effect from adding capsaicin to your diet when it comes to cancer. You are directly...

Ivermectin's medical usage is extremely well studied. It's an excellent anti-parasitic and is widely available for the use cases that science supports it for. It is a product of the pharma industry - we would not have it without Merck. But this isn't a defense of big pharma - it is pointing out...

There is not a single human study showing the efficacy as capsaicin as a cancer treatment in humans. Your own post explicitly calls this out: The only in vivo studies are in animals. It likely has anti-cancer properties. We have no idea how strong they are, if they matter in the face of...

Usual dosing is about 3G a day. Some people recommend splitting doses or having it next to your workout, others think it's not particularly important.

I hope you remain cancer free. But science is driven forward by thorough research where variables are controlled for and sample sizes are large enough for us to determine the effect. Anecdotes by individuals aren't data. Capsaicin does show some anti-cancer properties! In vitro. We don't know...

I'm a big fan of Ed and have a fridge full of Puckerbutt sauces. I would not trust capsaicin to be a panacea for cancer.

Unlikely we'll see monoclonal antibody stuff with vendors anytime soon. China can produce them, but the facilities that can have enough legit work for pharma that they're not going to be funneling any to the grey or black market.

I've been seeing more and more people talking about discussing all of this stuff with doctors, like any reputable doc is going to say anything more than "if your mystery drugs from china are causing you problems stop fucking taking them" I'm convinced it's all AI slop.

They're saying to mix it with acetic acid and more bac water. Tesa is very pH sensitive.

GH operates across different mechanisms than BPC-157/TB-500. All three combined will provide the biggest benefit for injury recovery. (Please remember that all three are also risk factors for accelerating existing cancer growth if you happen to have a cancerous tumor already, so they are not...

Indirectly, from my understanding. My contact at discord says their primary concern is LEOs of various types - which of course are under pressure from big pharma. They're also largely concerned with the controlled substances portion, since many of these vendors are also selling HGH and anabolics.
